Type 9

Got a whine in 2nd and 3rd could be normal not sure and when speedo cable feel out the oil that came out was black so decided to change the oil what's best way of doing this

[cb750]

Can't easily change the oil as there's no drain plug. You could always try to pump or suck the oil out through the filler hole. I don't think you would get enough out by dropping the propshaft and raising the front of the car - it would certainly be messy!

What's best thing to use to suck oil out of the filler hole

[Mitch]

Suction hahahahahaa ..... Sorry I'll get my coat

[Dave R]

i syphoned mine over night.... got most of it out....

[jaimo]

How did you do that overnight what did you use dave

[Guest davidm]

Oil syphon. Couple of quid from any motor store or ebay

[speedtripledan]

If its whining the bearings are on there way out, most likely layshaft needle bearings

[jaimo]

Got a suction gun going to suck out old oil and replace and see if any whine any better the gearbox is working fine so hopefully will do season then winter might have to sweet talk Dan to help with rebuild

If your cabin floor is not sealed, especially around your gearbox, you will get,a lot of transmission nois when driving.

The nois seems to be amplified through the driveline. A good rubber or elastic acted seal aroun floor/transmission tunnel is required.

I am going to do cabin including dash rewire clocks gauges and acoustic carpet in winter so yeah hopefully that will help

As said, most important part is the gear change surround.

[jaimo]

Topped up gearbox pit in just over 1 litre so that was issue a lot quieter now

[Guest 2b cruising]

That's a good result.

Let's hope no damage was caused by the low oil level.

One litre in the type nine is a huge amount of oil.

You should more than anything else consider changing the oil as soon as you can, because the little amount you had in would have been getting far to hot.

I would think lots of bronze and steel waste would be in it.

I know what you mean from the earlier posts but at first glance this made me laugh thinking of it like a dodgy garage/mechanic telling some unsuspecting customer..

 

'Well we've changed your gear change surround so your gearbox should be as good as new now, That'll be £200. It's good we changed it when we did, it's the most important part. We polished your gearknob while we were at it, that's good for 10bhp. Any noise you hear will be the new gear change surround settling in.'
